    Outside from parking lot. Winter set up.

    We love going to Embers by the Lake! It's a family favorite for a weekend respite. The pizzas are great, with a bit of a charred crust from the wood fired cooking. Great drinks, service and food. The wait is long, but the kids love hiking around the area, and we often play Corn Hole while waiting or just sit by the outdoor fire. They also have a good view of Lake Hauser. We love driving our side by side over the hill to this great location along the lake. We'll be back over and over.

    We walked from our Airbnb to Embers and we really enjoyed it. The vibe was unbeatable - outside seating with a big grass are where kids were running around. They had a great selection of wine/beer/drinks as well. The summer salad needed more dressing and then large was way too big for 2 people. I'd say for maybe 3-4 it's better. The pizzas were both cooked perfect and had great flavor. We got a gluten free crust for the truffle pizza and it was great for my gluten free friend - good flavor not just like cardboard.

    As always phenomenal pizza, fabulous service and a great setting. Even when it's super busy the staff is friendly and constantly checking to make sure everything is good. Our daughter loves playing with pizza dough while we wait for our meal, it's a great way to entertain the little ones. This will always be a favorite, can't get tired of this place!

    Back after 2 years...while the first visit was phenomenal this time even better. Got there at opening 4pm to beat the crowd. The setting is a quaint old house converted into a great venue complete with outside seating across from a serene lake. Inside are two wood fired pizza ovens, one for regular pizzas and another for gluten free. A nice bar surrounds the ovens with an assortment of beers on tap or opt for wine or some mixed drinks. We opted to sit inside and our server greeted us with a smile and great attitude. We ordered a blood orange Hefeweizen and examined the menu. My last visit I had the Pend Oreille Pie, a thick crust pie extraordinaire. (I ordered one to go) This time we split the Papa's Special- marinara-sausage-pepperoni-salami & smoked bacon on a thin wood fired crust that had great char, crisp & chew. There were plenty of toppings! After eating great pizza in many parts of the country I have to rate this one as the best!!! Atmosphere Pizza Friendliness overall

    Excellent pizza by the lake! Called in the order, drove out, it was ready to go! They made the wrong pizza - and the made the right pizza and gave me both with hardly any wait! It was a total bonus. The sweet and smoky bbq chicken pizza was our bonus pizza and it was delicious!

    This place is an experience for the whole family!! The drive in to the location is beautiful and you feel like you are at a members only, hidden gem type soot. The whole place is like a parents playground. The kids can play, while you warm up next to the gas fires with an IPA or whatever. Pizza is delicious, lots of special options and the kids can make their own breadsticks for free. Great service, very attentive and helpful. A bit of a wait but that is expected with a spot like this!! Come ready to eat and have a blast!!! Nice art on the walls too!

    Half of two amazing different pizzas I don't remember, but darn they were yummy!

    This place is a must visit! The pizza is absolutely amazing and the salads are to die for! I bring everyone I know here and will continue to.

    Beautiful view.

    We had the pleasure of meeting friends here for a wonderful dinner. We were visiting and was so impressed with the vibe and view! Super nice employees who are friendly and welcoming. We had both the ceaser and summer salads. Very good. Then we split four pizzas. I can't recall the names, but it didn't matter. They were all very good. Highly recommend.

Our server was very nice and helpful. It was close enough to lunch, my son ordered the jalapeño burger and loved it. Had fries too that were very good. My breakfast was HUGE. I had The Wagner Plate with pancakes, French toast and three kinds of meet and two eggs. It was quite yummy. Could it have been tastier? Yes, but it's an amazing price and is yummy enough that I'm not complaining. And what a view when you step outside. When it's warmer weather, you can sit on the patio and enjoy the view the whole time. Or you could eat at D-Mac's, which is connected, and also see the view through the large windows. I really like this place and will be back for sure.

Our second choice, their 14oz Ribeye was also sold out. We ended up going with a breadless Patty Melt and a bunless Fungus Amungus burger. We both agreed that the beef patties were well flavored and large (we both had leftovers). The view from the bar is wonderful and our server Stacey was great. We're going to try another time to get their Wednesday special, but if you want to try it, definitely get there REALLY early. On a side note, turns out the place is supposedly haunted (didn't experience anything odd tonight). They also have a place that patrons can enjoy Hauser Lake.
